Misunderstood (Dream Theater)

WaitingIn the calm of desolationWanting to breakFrom this circle of confusion

SleepingIn the depths of isolationTrying to wakeFrom this daydream of illusion

How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds meHow can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me

How can I know so manyNever really knowing anyone

If I seem superhumanI have beenMisunderstood

It challenges the essence of my soulAnd leaves me in a state of disconnectionAs I navigate the maze of self controlPlaying a lion being led to a cageI turn from a thief to a beggarFrom a God to God save me

How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds meHow can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me

How can I know so manyNever really knowing anyoneIf I seem superhumanI have beenMisunderstood

Playing a lion being led to a cageI turn from surreal to seclusionFrom love to disdainFrom belief to delusionFrom a thief to a beggarFrom a god to God save me

How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds meHow can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me

How can I know so manyNever really knowing anyoneIf I seem superhumanI have beenMisunderstood
